I am not seeing a picture, just a black screen when I switch to channel 4 (Bravo), 8 (Eden) or 14 (Rush) or when I get a picture it is jumping from one image to another like a slide show.

Interestingly 18 (Eden+1) is ok!

And the TV it self is not affected all channels normal.

I am in Waikanae.

Anyone else getting this problem.

We are having the same problem with Eden, very jerky. Has been happening for the last 2 nights.

I suggest doing a channel rescan on the Freeview recorder.

I did that before posting and it did nothing to improve the picture.

Thanks and where might you be having this issue in NZ?

I am in Masterton and all channels are performing fine through the recorder. It might be local to your transmission site.

Parents were having this problem over the last two or three days. They're in South Auckland. TV3, Bravo and I think Eden were funky. Works fine with the TV's built in tuner. I'll take a look next time I'm up that way.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Also had this problem in Auckland on Wednesday night but it was ok last night.

I have had 2 recent occurrences of series link programs swapping to the +1 channel (SD) for the following week when there is no conflict at that date/time. Looking at the scheduled recording there was no option to change the channel manually. After recording the following week it would return to the HD channel for the next week. Seemed like the only option was to delete the program and redo it.

The old Magic tv box that I had occasionally did this but allowed you recheck the priority and would usually swap back to the HD channel. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent option for that. I guess it's an issue with the EPG itself

Well the mystery of what was happening may never be known. But a quick check this morning and everything is back to normal.. I am assuming that it has something to do with signal levels. The TV may not require as strong a signal as the STB.

G'day all

Does anyone happen to know of a method to clone the HDD to an SSD in a Panasonic DMR-HWT260's?

thanks

frank
